Annual International Programs Focus
Each year, North Central College turns its attention to a particular global issue in order to examine it in the cultures of particular regions of the world. This year, the College is launching a 3-year series, "Global Human Rights." Several classes across the curriculum will be devoting attention to this focus, while co-curricular events (lectures, films, concerts, and art exhibits) will take place each term. The year will end with a special symposium in spring term devoted to human rights around the world. Students are encouraged to enroll in these specially designated classes, many of which fulfill general education requirements. For further details, please visit the Annual International Focus page.
These resource lists are prepared in support of this focus.
